COMPANY MAKING BIG CHANGES BECAUSE OF THE NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN. WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU. ALLEGATIONS OF CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, AND LIES. A GRAND JURY IS INVESTIGATING THE FAILED WAYNE COUNTY JAIL, BUT THIS MAY NOT BE THE ONLY CRIME SCENE. Carmen: IT TOPS OUR NEWS AT 6:00. GOOD EVENING. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE SITE IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT WHERE CONSTRUCTION HAS STOPPED AND A GRAND JURY IS INVESTIGATING. Devin: NOW A SECOND SITE IN RIVER ROUGE WHERE THE CELLS SIT AND IT'S COSTING THE COUNTY CASH. BUSINESS EDITOR ROD MELONI TAKES US ON A TOUR. ROD? Rod: WE'RE DOWNTOWN AT THE WAYNE COUNTY FAILED JAIL PROJECT HERE. SEE THE TOWER RIGHT THERE? IN THERE IS A GROUP OF JAIL PODS, ALL STACKED ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER, WITH PLUMBING AND ELECTRIC IN THERE, MUCH LIKE A CHILD'S TOY SNAPPED INTO PLACE, BUT NOT ALL THE PODS ARE HERE. THEY'RE DOWNRIVER. AND WHAT TO DO WITH THEM IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS IS A STORAGE LOT ACROSS FROM RIVER ROUGE HIGH SCHOOL. THESE PODS WERE MEANT FOR THE NEW WAYNE COUNTY JAIL PROJECT. THE ENTIRE COLLECTION COSTS OVER $5 MILLION TO BUILD AND OVER $600,000 TO MOVE THEM TO THE SITE. EACH POD WEIGHS 24 TONS! AND REQUIRES WIDE-LOAD TRUCKS AFTER HOURS TO TRANSPORT THEM. THEY WERE BUILT BY THE OLD CASTLE PREFABRICATION. AND THEY SENT CREWS HERE TO BUILD THEM IN THIS CONCRETE YARD. THEY'VE BEEN PULLED OUT OF MICHIGAN NOW. WAYNE COUNTY CHIEF OF STAFF SAID HE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THEM? ARE WE GOING TO REUSE THEM AT A POTENTIAL MOUND ROAD CONSTRUCTION? OR IF NOT, DO WE NEED TO DECONSTRUCT THEM AND SALVAGE WHAT WE CAN? THOSE THINGS ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION. Rod: AND YOU DID HEAR HIM RIGHT, THEY'LL HAVE TO DEMOLISH THEM AND SELL FOR SCRAP WHAT THEY CAN IF THEY DON'T WORK OUT FOR THE FUTURE JAIL SITE. A ROUGHLY $5 MILLION LOSS! ONE OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS FOR THE COUNTY IS WHERE DO YOU PUT THESE THINGS? WEIGHING AS MUCH AS THEY DO, YOU CAN'T PUT THEM ON SOFT GROUND AND YOU CAN'T LINE THEM UP NEXT TO SOMEBODY'S NEIGHBORHOOD. THOSE ARE ISSUES THEY'RE WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW. IF THEY HAVE TO DEMOLISH THEM, IMAGINE THE RUBBLE IT WILL CREATE, A $5 MILLION PILE OF CONCRETE! Devin: HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH HAS BEEN SPENT ON THE FAILED JAILED PROJECT? Rod: WHAT THEY SAID TODAY IS THAT THEY'RE UP TO $140 MILLION! SO BEHIND ME HERE, WHAT YOU SEE HERE AND THE PODS DOWNRIVER, IT'S $140 MILLION! BUT LET'S NOT FORGET THAT IT'S COSTING THEM MONEY EVERY DAY THIS IS HERE. IT'S NOT AS MUCH AS IT WAS, BUT THERE'S A METER RUNNING ON THAT AND A METER RUNNING ON THE PODS DOWN IN RIVER ROUGE, AS LONG AS THEY'RE RENTING THAT SPACE SO TRYING TO PULL ALL OF THIS TOGETHER IS LIKELY TO BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE $140 MILLION. Devin: BECAUSE COSTS WILL RETROFITTING THE MOUND SFLT

RIVER ROUGE, Mich. -

Inside a storage lot across from River Rouge High School sit 100 dual cell jail pods which were meant for the new Wayne County jail project.

There's a problem: Each pod weighs a staggering 24 tons and requires wide load trucks in off hours to transport them.

There are two kinds: one with a single swinging door and another with a sliding door which were built by the Old Castle Prefabrication Company of Pennsylvania.

The company sent work crews to Michigan to build these pods, toilets, beds and sinks which all sit underneath a white tent in the River Rouge prefab concrete yard. The work crews have all been pulled out of Michigan.

The company now is renting the space where the cells sit out in the elements. However, the company wants a couple of things: its money and the pods off of the rented spaces.

Wayne County Chief of Staff June Lee says he is trying to figure out what do with the pods.

"So, the question is going to be are we going to reuse them at a potential Mound Road construction or, if not, do we need to deconstruct them and and try to salvage what we can. So, these things are under consideration," Lee said.

Yes, you read that correctly. Wayne County will have to demolish the 47,000-pound structures and sell them for scrap if they won't work in a future jail site. In that instance it's a roughly $5 million loss.

One of the other problems for the county is where to put them. At their hefty weight the county can't put them on soft ground and they don't want them to become an eyesore. It will cost money to move them, too -- whether it's once or twice or if they are demolished.
